Doom multiplayer modes revealed in new video

Team Deathmatch has been around for ages, and Clan Arena is basically the same thing but without pickups, respawns, or demon transformations: You fight until you die, and the last team standing wins. Another one you may have heard of, in one variant or another, is Domination, in which teams compete to claim and control up to three static locations on a map, earning points based on how long they're held. This twist in Doom is the Demon Rune, which will spawn randomly and be announced to all players. Demons are more powerful than soldiers (despite how poorly they seem to fare when actually confronted with one), and so teams will have to choose between defending their holdings and sending players to make a grab for the rune, to keep it out of enemy hands.

The Soul Harvest mode works much like Team Deathmatch, but points are earned by grabbing the Painkiller-esque souls of fallen enemies. Freeze Tag involves freezing enemies rather than killing them (and thawing out teammates, because the first team to be entirely frozen loses), and Warpath is like a King of the Hill mode, except that the hill is constantly moving around the map. Gameplay in all of these modes is further complicated by the Demon Rune, which will force players and teams to choose between risk and reward.

Valve just added a ton of strings to the STS related to paid workshop mods, detailing stuff like author controlled monetization, profit splitting and more

huh, seems that not being Broken Age's biggest fan will get one labeled a GG and/or Schafer's Twitter-haters?

I mean what

context? there's def an overlap between double fine haters and ggers so without context is hard to tell if u came off as one or what :I

he seemed to have cooled off a bit after but boy was he painting with broad strokes by the end of that post

I didn't even know that GGs had gone after Double Fine. I was just voicing my dislike of Part 2 of Broken Age and how i felt that BA as a whole being a disappointment will scare away other publishers and devs from doing high profile old school adventure games, especially since Double Fine had to squeak out part 2 with heavily reused assets and some laborious wire puzzles

The latest trailer to Project Scissors: NightCry from their Kickstarter email update.

The official release date for NightCry has been set for March 29th, 16:00 (Japan time).

I'm intrigued but pretty much everytime this game is brought up pretty much everyone has been put off by how rough it looks, which is worrying. Heck I had no idea it was out so soon =/

Castaway 67% is the cheapest its been I believe? I hear gret things, and its made by a gaffer I believe?

That was a nice Easter Box from Square Enix. But does this means we can expect a Humble Bundle with actual Square games soon?

It was only a matter of time before they tried again. If nothing else, Valve is an incredibly stubborn corporation as a whole.

Game dev reveals correlation between a translation and a region’s piracy

While triple-A video game publishers tend to hide their sales data with great vengeance and furious anger, indies have become pretty liberal about their stats. You don't have to look very far and wide to find a smaller-fry game studio coughing up sales numbers or even piracy estimates.

In the case of Punch Club game maker TinyBuild, the development team went one further than usual on Monday with a news post that connected the dots between game sales, game piracy, and localization. What happens in a country-by-country basis after translating a game's text and officially launching and promoting it?

Wow if they used Denuvo they would have an extra 1.3 million sales.

if you add Portuguese to a game im LESS likely to buy it

Playing devil's advocate here, but games are maddly expensive in Brasil.

How long does a "temporary suspension" take on Uplay? I tried some of the Far Cry Primal codes but all of them already seem to have been used, and then I got automatically kicked from my account.

lol

Mine didn't last more than 10 minutes.

This.
I also like how they consider language to be a "country-by-country" gauge, everyone knows all Spanish speakers live exclusively in Spain.

Is it called subborn to push for a good thing? If anything, the dogmatic reutterance of paid mods being evil is stubborn.

 

[Momentary]

I better play and beat Neptunia U now while my wife is in Poland. I don't know what this game entails beyond being a beat'em up, but some of the screen shots would make her question me.

It makes sense in most MMOs for there to be more than one language spoken as far as world setting, most tend to have different races/mention different countries.

Eh, regional pricing and payment options on steam + nuveem should have made buying digital PC games easier than ever in Brazil.
I believe

Spoiler

or just hope

sales have actually improved and piracy rates lowered since they made those changes. Same with other regions.

 

[JaseC]

It was only a matter of time before they tried again. If nothing else, Valve is an incredibly stubborn corporation as a whole.

Paid mods aren't a bad thing. It's just a system that's very difficult to implement safely. I mean, one of the first paid custom game thingos for Dota 2 was almost entirely composed of stolen assets. Should Valve have known better? Perhaps. But it can't be expected to investigate the lineage of each and every asset. The best compromise would probably be to create a Greenlightesque system for paid mods, however even the occasional game makes it through Greenlight before someone notices something amiss.

FFXIV did a great job with different languages as there were commands that would automatically translate into your own language.

This is like a small Pixar movie. Blizzards CGi departmend really can't be beaten.

After the intro trailer and now this, I'd really like to see them produce a full length feature with these characters. This is on par with the stuff coming out of Hollywood now, IMO.

They're tracking via callbacks embedded in the game, so they're likely getting these locations by IP. Brazil and Portugal are charted separately, for example.

Big news for indie fans.

It's nice to see that it's finally being released on Steam after so long, great news.
